  • Cynthia Dunbar Wants Your Kids to Be Stupid

    More textbook revision from the assholes in Texas: Cynthia Dunbar does not have a high regard for her local schools.

But Young had also noticed that the snakes wiggled their heads just before […]

  • Laura Bush meets the sex bloggers

    From Mark Morford on Laura Bush's recent admission that she's pro-gay and pro-choice: "But just so we're clear on some details- oh sweet- pitiable Laura: You had- back in 2000- two young- party-riffic twentysomething daughters- you were- for better or worse- the default role model for women everywhere- you were the emblem for female freedom […]
